Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.
Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.
the link is in header.php –
however, it is not advised to edit twenty eleven directly, but rather create a child theme http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and make the edits there.
copy header.php into the child theme, edit it and find:
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
possibly change to:
<a href="http://linkurl">
Thanks, that change worked perfectly!
But I already made multiple edits to the Twenty Eleven Theme (just the header.php) for my site…should I start over with a fresh unedited copy and make the edits within the Child Theme?
Or is it OK if I make no further edits?
Thanks again!

you really should install a fresh twentyeleven, and make your edits in a child theme, while your edits are still fresh in your mind
Reason being: twentyeleven is the core WP theme, a clean copy is always needed for troubleshooting WP + whenever WP is updated, if any changes are made to twentyeleven to fix/update it, there is a good chance one of the files you edited will be replaced, and your changes will be lost
Hi!
What should I do if I want the header on every different page to link to the current page instead of the startpage? 🙂
Here is the site: http://www.zilloman.com
I want for exampel the header on http://zilloman.com/byra link to http://zilloman.com/byra instead of the startpage.
Thx!:)

You would need to start by creating a child theme for your changes. Then edit a custom copy of the parent’s header.php template file within the child theme.
I have a child theme already with a copy of the header.php in it.
What should I change in the header.php to get what i want? 🙂
Try changing:
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
to
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>">
Thank you for your answer looks like it’s working.
But not exactly like I want to.
I also want the header to link to for exampel http://www.zilloman.com/byra if you ar in any of the subpages to Byrå.
So if you are on http://www.zilloman.com/byra/vad-vi-gor/ and then clicking on the header it will be linked to http://www.zilloman.com/byra
Any suggestions?
🙂

So if the Page is a child, you want it to link to the parent Page? What if it’s a Post or a Category?
Yes exactly, if the page is a child I want the header to be linked to the parent Page. I don’t have any posts or categorys on any of the subpages?
But do you have Posts on your site? They have to be taken into account within the code.
Yes I have.
Is it possible to link the header like that?
What should I do? 🙂
